CAN WE GO HIGHER?
[MP3]
A thousand candles in the
air
One by one
A body count each time I raise
My eyes to the sun
No rain of understanding
falls
To fill the well
Centuries and days have gone
With the ringing of a bell
Here we are ...
Here we are ...
Can we go higher?
(Love instead of borders)
(In our dreams!)
Higher?
(We can smile at the future)
Higher ?
In our dreams ?
(To believe!)
(Love instead of borders,
smile at the future now)
Teci Savo, Dravo teci
nit ti Dunav silu gubi
sinje more svijetu reci
da svoj narod Hrvat ljubi
A troop of angels, left
and right
Watch and wait
Will it happen round the world tonight
A simple twist of faith.
Let us talk as people do
Woman and man
Let us shout out "Peace" again
In every, every, every, every land...
Here we are...
Here we are...
Can we go higher?
(In our dreams)
(to believe)
(Love instead of borders)
Higher?
(We can smile at the future)
Higher?
In our dreams?
(Instead of borders,
smile at the future now)

WWW//WWW
We Will Win on a Wide (Wild) World Web
We Will Win (Wild
World Web)
When you finally make it
through the night
Who will think of you in the morning light
Who will speak for you
With your loved ones gone?
Who knows your destiny
Who'll help you carry on
I wanna know, and I
wanna say
We Will Win
On the wide world web // WWW//WWW
When you speak I know
how it will be
When I look at you I look at me
I'll remember you!
You were proud and strong
In the face of death
Shout it loud and long:
I can hear you now
We Will Win
On the wide world web
We will win
On the wild world web

YOU
NEED A LOVE
You Need a
Love
She said:
I need a love, not these extra pennies
I need a love, not a stretch Mercedes
I need a love, not this milk and honey
I need a love, not a fool with money
He said:
You need a love, not these fancy places
You need a love, not these paper chases
You need a love, not these rakes and fakers
You need a love, not these headline makers
You need a love, not
your dust and laughter
You need a love, not your mornings after
You need a love, not your midnight mansions
You need a love, not your hip pretensions
She said:
I need a love, not the life of others
I need a love, not a list of lovers
I need a love, not some new devices
I need you, I know what the price is
I need you, I know what the price is
I need you, I know what the price is
I need you, I know
I need you, I know what the price is

THE
ROADS COME BACK TO YOU
The
Roads Come Back to You
She was standing in Paris
At the foot of the Eiffel Tower
And she knew she should be glad
But certain voice and kiss
Came back with all that power
From years ago and made her sad.
R. You want to walk, you
want to fly
But most of all you want to hide.
You push the walls to see the sky and then
So many paths, so many turns.
It gets to be to strange for words.
The roads come back,
The roads come back,
The roads come back to you.
You traveled down so many roads and then
He was standing in New York
At the corner of first and Houston
When she came into his sight.
He couldn't help noticing
that she was glad to see him
So she stayed and talked all night.
R. You want to walk, you want to fly
But most of all you want to hide.
You push the walls to see the sky and then
So many paths, so many turns.
It gets to be to strange for words.
You traveled down so many roads and then
The roads come back,
The roads come back,
The roads come back to you.
He was sitting in
Dubrovnik
And the war was in the papers.
With oblivion in his eyes.
He could hear canons cursing
See her crouching in a shelter
With her children in her arms.
You want to scream, you
want to fly
You want to kill, you want to die
You push the walls to see the freedom skies...and then
So many paths but one is true.
The one that leads from her to you
Shattered dreams the way it seems ...and then
The roads come back,
The roads come back,
The roads come back,
The roads come back to you.

TRUTH IS SO SIMPLE
Truth
Is So Simple
Never, never told you
What's in my heart
The words are very easy
But hard to start. Don't get far.
Never, even told you
I rehearse
But when I try to do it
Just gets worse
Turn around and
There you are. I
Try to speak. I
Don't get far. I...Love you
I just have to say to you
no matter what I try
I'd love to find
Truth is so simple,
Like Day and Night
Like a ship on a river,
Like love at first sight
Nothing complicated
Like Night and Day
Truth is very simple,
And hard to say n't
Write a letter,
write a song,
I don't care if it's
right or wrong ... I love you,
Try to hold it,
Try to hide, I
Cant not tell a lie I...just...can't
Truth is so simple,
Like a summer moon,
Like a nickel in your pocket,
Like a Beatles tune.
Everybody knows it,
Plain to see.
Maybe that's the reason
You're telling me.
Never, never told you
What's in my heart
The words are very easy
But hard to start.
And everybody knows it,
It's plain to see.
Truth Is So Simple... You're telling me.

I WONDER WHY
I Wonder Why
I wonder why
You're pale as a cloud
I wonder why
We talk, but we hear no sound
I wonder why
We're lighter than air
The city below is fading away
Over and over
They justify their crime
Over and over
They promise and they lie
I wonder why
Your cheeks are so wet
I wonder why
A picture you can't forget ?
I wonder how
We came to be here
We bear the scars but feel no fear
Over and over ...
I wonder when
When will it end
Old and young, enemy and friend
Climbing high
Words without cease
Distant prayers for love and peace
Over and over
They justify their crime
Over and over
They promise knowing that they lie
